From the series "Chauvet/228 Golden Glow Drive" (2017-). Using drawings I made at ages 3, 4, and 5 as seed material, these oils are exercises in self-sampling. An apprenticeship with a now fifty-year old ghost residue vaguely remembered, exploring that entity's (largely indecipherable) mythopoetic vocabulary. A whiff of time travel, a sort of dreamtime poetics. "Once you admit that time past is actually infinite, being a child gradually fades out" (Susan Howe). Samples of the "originals" below.

"Sad Moon Tastes of the Elp That's Offered" (36" x 48")

"Nightmare Fishes Feeding at the Robot Hotel" (30" x 40")

"Oh My, Go, Go In, Green Ghost Has All the Weapons" (36" x 48")

"The Natural World" (36" x 48")

"The Woodpecker at the Center of the World (with Turtle, Crab, I'm Not Sure What, and Star Taking Saw for a Walk)" (30" x 40")
